The July 26, 2014, "Ride of His Life" for Michael caused significant damage to the BiGFooT sprinter. While Michael's soreness has gone away, the repairs and rebuild to the sprinter continue. The A.R.T. chassis has made its way to the recycle stream. The backup Maxim chassis will be utilized for the rebuild and the Stewart Engine (lubricated with Champion Brands lubricants) appears to be OK. The Jet-Hot High Performance coated headers survived the brief fire. Ti22 Performance has a new front axle on the way. Other parts are being replaced or rebuilt.
It is expect that Michael will return to OCRS action in September for the last five races of the season. The car will look more like the sprinter of the last two years (more black than red); see attached photo. Keep an eye out for the team in September.
